Aztec Research Fellowship Program
|
For 4 years, I was the Director of the Aztec Research Fellowship Program (ARFP), in which I designed and facilitated a year-long, social science undergraduate research (UR) fellowship program with transfer students at SDSU. The ARFP involved several high impact activities including (a) a weekly, three-hour research methods course; (b) a ten-hour per week research practicum; (c) a graduate student mentor; (d) scholarly presentations at national convenings; and (e) a drafted manuscript for publication. This work was supported by $60,000 in program development funds that I was awarded by SDSU’s Division of Undergraduate Research and Division of Graduate Affairs. The program, for which I received an SDSU Exceptional Service Assigned Time award, was a powerful reflection of the significance of fostering scholar identities among first-generation, transfer, and students of color.
